Chargers waived RB Andre Williams.

The Chargers also cut ties with backup QB Mike Bercovici, PK Josh Lambo, DT Caraun Reid, RB Kenjon Barner, QB Kellen Clemens, TE Jeff Cumberland, and S Dwight Lowery in their final cut to 53. LB Joshua Perry and RB Kenneth Farrow were waived/injured, so they will end up on IR if they pass through waivers. Williams is running out of chances. Sep 2 - 4:22 PM

Andre Williams carried a team-high eight times for just 18 yards in Sunday's preseason opener against the Seahawks.

Williams was given a long look, and we've seen this movie before. He cracked off one 13-yard scamper and then was bottled up the rest of the time. He'll have an uphill climb to garner meaningful touches behind Melvin Gordon, as Branden Oliver and Kenneth Farrow will be tough to leap on the depth chart. Aug 13 - 11:31 PM

Chargers re-signed RB Andre Williams.

Williams bided his time on the Chargers' practice squad last year before finally seeing the field in Week 17. He played well in that game, rushing for 87 yards on 18 carries in a loss to Kansas City. Even if Williams makes the 53-man roster, he won't be more than a bit player behind workhorse Melvin Gordon. Mar 9 - 8:31 PM

Andre Williams rushed 18 times for 87 yards Week 17 against the Chiefs.

We have said some not nice things about Williams throughout the years, but he looked very good against the Chiefs, showing patience he never displayed in his ill-fated stint with the Giants. Williams still has stone hands and is not going to supplant Melvin Gordon anytime soon, but he likely earned an exclusive-rights tender and a shot at a backup role next August. Jan 1 - 9:14 PM

Gordon is reportedly dealing with a "minor" bone bruise in the same knee which required microfracture surgery after his rookie year. That is at least slightly concerning, but neither the player nor his coach appears to be worried. "He’s sore," Anthony Lynn said. "He was sore last week. We’ll monitor him this week, but I’m sure he’ll be fine." As long as he is active, Gordon will be a locked-in RB1 against the Eagles.

Dontrelle Inman (groin) is questionable for Week 2 against the Dolphins.

Inman is set to make his season debut on Sunday after putting in a full week of practice. In a crowded receiving corps featuring Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin, it's doubtful Inman will draw enough targets to warrant fantasy consideration.

Williams is close to returning after a full week of limited practice, He’s running routes at full speed, but still needs to get cleared for team drills. Barring any setbacks, Williams looks in line for an early October return.

Chargers RT Joe Barksdale exited Week 2 against the Dolphins with a left foot injury.

Barksdale was bull-rushed over by Cameron Wake in the fourth quarter and was injured on the play. He was trying to come back in but stood up from the bench and threw his helmet on the ground before heading to the locker room. Veteran Chris Hairston has replaced Barksdale at right tackle.

Hairston tweeted the other day that the "doctor said I had blood clots," so we're assuming that's the issue here. Hairston filled in at right tackle in place of an injured Joe Barksdale in Week 2. L.A.'s line is in rough shape.
